    I'm guessing it's an IT staff vs. Sales staff discrepancy.

    Yes, companies fire people for being gay so they can get sued. I'm also really really sure that your statement with zero context is 100% factually correct.

    Sexual orientation is not a protected class in most states, and there is no federal statute, so you can't sue for being fired for being gay.

    And here the /. hivemind thought you were a ma'am, bro - or perhaps it's one of those 'complicated' identities :)

    You realize that the term 'gay' applies to both men and women, right? It's a misconception that 'gay' is always the opposite of 'lesbian'.

    Sorry, I know people in Verizon IT, and they refer to their job as "the Death March" and their building as the "Tower of Doom". According to their (admittedly anecdotal) observations, they see 3-5% turnover in their groups every week.

    I think Verizon must have offered a $500 bonus for filling in the survey as "happy world".
